We went to Napa today with our friend Kelly who is visiting from New Jersey. Napa is the land of the Boon Fly Cafe', a new restaurant that is part of the Carneros Inn. Didn't make it to the boon fly this time but word on the street is they have a good breakfast.
We went to several wineries on this trip. Started off at the traditional Sebastiani in Sonoma.
As usual, there was some good stuff to be had at Sebastiani. Then it was off to a tour of Frog's Leap in Rutherford/Napa. Frog's Leap is "by appointment" only and we had made one several months ago. Their tour was much better than there wine though it wasn't bad. The Zinfandel was the best (the Cabernet Sauvignon was sold out)
The next and final winery was Pine Ridge on the Silverado Trail. Pine Ridge is always a nice treat. It was release day for their 2002 Cabernet Franc and they were tasting a variety of French cheeses as well. We got to taste a 1985 Andrus Reserve Cabernet Saubignon which was cool.
All in all, a fun day. To top things off we got back in time to see 3 quarters of Georgia Tech's victory over Auburn!!!
